Pathetique Sonata_Slow Movement

on: April 23, 2006, 09:25:45 PM

Many people learn the slow movements of the sonatas first. What do you teach before the slow movement of Beethoven's Pathetique?

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.

Is your student not ready for that movement yet?

Nothing - teach it directly, if you feel it is time for the student to play a Beethoven Sonata.

Make your student play through an Opus 49 or Opus 14 before the Pathetique.

The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
